Chapter 378 Stumped
Chu Yansui looked at Yu Jinyi as if he understood something, wondering if what his mother said was true.
He hasn't lived with his father and mother for several years, so can he take a leave every few days?
However, he can see his father and mother after school every day, so telling them is definitely not enough.
But why can A'mo do it?
Could it be that he didn't go home after school every day and went to study other subjects, which resulted in him having no time to accompany his parents?
"Mother, is Ah-Mo busier than Sui'er? So busy that he has no time to spend with his parents on weekdays, so he takes a leave every few days to spend time with his parents?"
Chu Yansui couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask his own mother.
If Ah-mo leaves the South Study to study other subjects, he won't bother with him. If his mother finds out that he is free and asks him to study with Ah-mo, that will be troublesome.
"Yes, after Ah Mo returns home, he will have to study other subjects with his two brothers. The Marquis of Loyalty is a military commander in the court, so his children and grandchildren will learn more than other children and grandchildren.
With this calculation, Ah Mo's time with his parents is very limited, so his family lets him take a leave every few days."
Yu Jinyi was thinking of an excuse to make Chu Yansui believe her, but she didn't expect that Chu Yansui had already thought of it himself.
She continued according to Chu Yansui's words, comforting him first, and everything would be fine after A'mo came back.
"Oh, Sui'er got it. Men in noble families have family responsibilities, so they should learn more."
Chu Yansui nodded as if he suddenly understood something, and obviously believed Yu Jinyi's explanation.
So that's how it is. Then he shouldn't have been thinking about taking a leave to rest just now.
In the future, he should also learn more subjects after school like A-Mo.
It would be too embarrassing if his brothers who grew up with him could win honor for the Marquis' Mansion while he still knows nothing.
"Well, Sui'er is right, but Sui'er needs to know that everyone in this world has their own life, and it is impossible for anyone to be together every day.
Although you and A'mo grew up together, you are not blood brothers and your responsibilities are different.
Therefore, the courses you need to learn will be different from those A-Mo needs to learn. In the future, the days you will be apart will become more and more. As A-Mo's good brother, will you always understand him?"
Seeing that Chu Yansui no longer kept dwelling on A'mo's leave, Yu Jinyi decided to continue guiding him.
She had to let her son know that everyone has a different destiny, and he needed to learn to respect the destiny of others.
Moreover, he also has responsibilities on his own shoulders and cannot always put the focus on others.
Chu Yansui tilted his head, thought again and again, and then nodded and said, "Mother, Sui'er knows. Sui'er will understand Ah Mo in the future."
The doubts in his heart were resolved, and Chu Yansui's mood became visibly happier.
Yu Jinyi was also pleased to see that he was so sensible.
"Sui'er is so good. Go wash your hands. It's time for dinner when daddy and sister come back."
Yu Jinyi lovingly pulled Chu Yansui and wanted to take him to wash his hands personally.
When Chu Chengyi arrived at Jinseyuan, Chu Yansui had already washed his hands and was sitting beside him reading a book.
That book was exactly the one Chu Qinshu took out last time.
At that time, he was somewhat disgusted with these books. Why did he take the initiative to read them today?
Chu Chengyi glanced at Yu Jinyi, his eyes full of confusion.
Yu Jinyi hurriedly stood up to greet her, and then Chu Qinshu rushed over, "Mom, give me a hug."
"Shu'er, be good."
Yu Jinyi took Chu Qinshu and sat back to kiss her. As for Chu Chengyi's doubts, it would not be too late for them to talk about it alone when the children were not here.
"Sui'er has seen Daddy."
When Chu Yansui saw his father coming, he quickly put down the book in his hand and came over to greet him.
How come he looks so serious now and seems to be more sensible?
Chu Chengyi became even more confused.
He and Chu Qinshu learned about the missing child in the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion after they returned to the East Palace.
Both the Marquis of Loyalty and his son are not in the capital, so he will naturally take more care of their family affairs.
Besides, Jingzhao Yin is his cousin, and knowing his relationship with Murong Zhan, he would not miss him if there is any news.
But his son didn't look like he was worried about A'mo. Could it be that because A'mo didn't go to the South Study today, he didn't take it to heart like he did last time?
"Good boy, Sui'er."
Chu Chengyi couldn't figure out the answer, so he reached out and touched Chu Yansui's head. Then, he picked him up, put him on his shoulders, and started playing with him.
He could still see that the young man was somewhat emotional.
As a father, he has to comfort his child properly.
“Haha… chuckle…”
Chu Yansui soon couldn't stop laughing. The worry of not seeing his friends for a day and the pressure of family responsibilities were instantly thrown behind his mind.
......
The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and time seems to pass much faster.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, but A'mo still couldn't find any trace.
Mrs. Du, wife of Marquis Zhongyi, fell ill five days ago out of anxiety. Luo Yuyan didn't see any problem except that she looked listless and listless all day.
Huang seemed even more anxious than she was. Not only did she ask for help from others, she also personally took her servants and maids out to look for him.
Jingzhao Yin Feng Wenhan has also been a little bald these days. He has been the Censor in Youzhou for many years and has been back in Beijing to take over as Jingzhao Yin for several months. He has handled at least 800 cases, if not a thousand. He was actually stumped by this case of a little boy being arrested.
It is difficult to find a missing child, but it is not easy to find a child who has been kidnapped from the house.
However, even though this case seemed easy to him, he spent seven whole days investigating it without finding any clues.
"Master Feng, is there any progress in my nephew's case today?"
Murong Lin, A'mo's uncle, comes to Jingzhao Prefecture at least twice a day.
After he returned to the capital, Chu Chengyi arranged for him to serve as the commander of the West City of the Wucheng Bingmasi. On the night that A'mo was captured, he happened to be on duty patrolling in his own area.
When he returned home after his shift, before he had time to rest, he heard that his little nephew had been kidnapped.
Of course he felt obliged to go out and look for it, but after searching for a long time, he could not find any clues.
In the end, we can only place our hopes on Jingzhao Prefecture.
"To be honest, there has been no progress at all. Can you find any useful clues in your mansion?"
When Feng Wenhan saw that it was Murong Lin, he naturally told the truth, and at the same time hoped that he could provide some new clues.
“No.”
Murong Lin shook his head, and the hope he had when he came here was shattered at this moment.
It’s been seven days, and it’s such a cold winter day. I wonder if my nephew is safe?
Since his father and brother were both away from the capital, the family relied on him to take care of the children. Unexpectedly, he even lost his own nephew while taking care of him.
What should I do if my brother finds out about this?
"Brother Murong, come, come, sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
Feng Wenhan felt sorry for Murong Lin, who looked as if he had been hit by frost, and asked him to sit down.
This was the study room in Jingzhao Prefecture where he handled official business. There was a heater and a tea table, so the two of them could have a good chat to see if they could come up with something related to the case.
After all, this was not the first time that the Murong family had lost a child, and he had every reason to suspect that the crime was committed by an acquaintance.
